Medical Malpractice: Surgery and Anesthesia
We all know the value of surgery. Many patients are alive today because of the exceptional skill of a surgical team. Unfortunately sometimes things go wrong. Medical errors committed during surgery or while receiving anesthesia can result in permanent disability or wrongful death.
If you or someone close to you has suffered because of a medical error during surgery or anesthesia, we can help. Berman & Simmons medical malpractice lawyers are highly experienced in this medical malpractice sub-specialty, which demands a high level of skill, knowledge and resources. Attorneys at Berman & Simmons have successfully represented hundreds of clients in complex cases involving surgery and anesthesia.
Our attorneys have an understanding of the complexities of modern surgery and anesthesia; and we have developed a network of highly qualified medical experts, who will help establish your case. We can identify violations of the accepted standard of care during the peri-surgical period and recover for that malpractice on behalf of our clients. Cases involving surgery and anesthesia malpractice, include:
- bariatric or weight loss surgery
- cardiac surgery
- orthopedic surgery
- neurosurgery
- PEG tube placement
- abdominal surgery
- biopsy
- carpal tunnel release
- nerve injuries
- hernia repair
- vasectomy
- cosmetic surgery
Timing is everything—don't delay if you have a potential medical malpractice claim
The state of Maine has strict Statutes of Limitations, which means you must act quickly or you will forever lose the opportunity to be compensated for your losses.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all medical malpractice clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
